Top Cartagena Boat Rentals

Luis and Trefone were an amazing duo! Luis was extremely knowledgeable and Trefone easily navigated traffic. They were both kind and attentive and made sure we were able to see everything included in the tour itinerary even after our cruise ship was delayed getting into port. Scion Tours responded quickly and were understanding of the situation when I messaged them the morning of our tour to let them know that we would be late for pickup. I would highly recommend this tour for a port day!

Wonderful sailing and attentive crew! Sailed to two anchor points to swim/snorkel. Snorkel gear is provided free of charge just requires an ID hold for collateral. Three lunch options: seafood, chicken or vegetarian all with rice, salad and fruit Drinks were very well priced and tasted good. They only accept card or tap and pay on board. Clean bathrooms! Do keep in mind they do not stop and go ashore anywhere this is strictly a sailing trip. We were happy with this as it allows for a much for relaxing slower paced day

Hiring a private boat is a must. Otherwise, you are in a horrible cattle call with the other operators. It was worth every penny. You will be greeted by someone that gets you to the boat and then you are out on the boat all day. You can customize where you want to go and how long to stay. It was safe. My only complaint is that the beach club where we ate lunch they asked us if we wanted to provide lunch for the boat crew of two people. We felt pressured to do this. Why wouldn’t the boat crew bring their own lunch? It’s one thing if they were sitting there with us, of course we would buy them lunch, but they were attending to the boat. It just seems like they should pack their own lunch. We felt obligated so we did send them the lunch and we were surprised it was more expensive than we were expecting. This just reduce the amount we gave them as a tip at the end. I think it’s a scam with the restaurant so maybe it should be made very clear multiple times while we are still on the boat not to fall for the scam at the beach club. It was included in the pre-departure information, but it was in the fine print and not highlighted. Seems like the boat operators would not allow this to happen. Or they should have given us a printed out piece of paper in English that clearly says we have our own lunch. Do not buy us a lunch but we appreciate your tips.
